This evening’s friendly between the Blues and Bury Town will for the first time be played for the Martin Swallow Challenge Trophy in honour of a fan’s service and outstanding contribution to both clubs.
Blues boss Paul Jewell says new signing Elliott Hewitt impressed him a great deal when he watched him in action for Macclesfield and the Welsh U21s last season. The 18-year-old, who is recovering from hip operations he underwent while with the Silkmen, signed a three-year contract at the end of May after moving for an initial £250,000 fee.
Michael Chopra showed just why Paul Jewell brought him to Portman Road as he scored two goals to get the Blues’ two-game pre-season tour of Holland off to a winning start with a 2-0 victory at FC Eindhoven. The former Cardiff man came on as a half-time sub, scoring his first within three minutes and the second 13 minutes from the end.
Town's players were back at Playford Road for the start of pre-season training this morning and TWTD's camera captured the moment.
Town trio Josh Carson, Caolan Lavery and Cormac Burke have been named in the Northern Ireland U20 squad for the Elite section of the Milk Cup tournament in their home country next month.
